"Schubert Best in Wispelwey Transcription Program"
"The program of romantic and modern music, most transcriptions for cello and piano, highlighted Wispelwey’s formidable technical skills and Giacometti’s nuanced and precise piano playing. Although Wispelwey was undoubtedly the main attraction of the evening, Giacometti is a fabulously sensitive pianist I hope to hear sometime soon in solo recital."

"Ah, but we few, we lucky few! I'd heard from friends who had caught the Dutch cellist in earlier local appearances that he was a sensation, and by the end of the concert you might have heard me wondering, "Yo-Yo Who?," so transporting was Wispelwey's mastery."
"the performances of both cellist and pianist were really quite wonderful, and seemed somehow braided; Giacometti's constant pedaling and careful phrasing kept the piano always encroaching on, but never quite overcoming, the cello. The results were subtle and introverted, yet still somehow lyrical; "Brahmsian" in a very deep sense indeed."
